ROBERT  B.  HONE YM AN,  JR. 


The  shades  of  night  were  falling  fast,

A  stencil-plate,   that  read  complete-  "SAPOLIO"

His  brow  was  sad,  but  underneath, 

White  with  "Odonto"  shone  his  teeth, 

And  through  them  hissed  the  word s,  "Well,  blow 

Me  tight  if  here  is  'ary  show!"       "SAP OLIO."
